and under ext_active it will be 1, change that to a zero then via FTP delete the entire production folder.

Try your forum again. If you can then login, go into the ACP and under extension choose "delete data" from the autobackup extension and once done remove the extension, again via FTP, from the extension directory.

I just tried these exact steps and was able to get back onto my test forum.

PS you probably should have posted this in the extension support area instead of within this development topic.

I ran into the same type of issue after upgrading to 3.2 and forgetting to disable the old version, here is the SQL query that I executed to disable the extension so that I could even get into the board (I use webmin server to connect to the MySQL instance):

select * from phpbb_ext (this got me the extension name in the database)
UPDATE phpbb_ext SET ext_active = 0 WHERE ext_name = 'pico/autodbbackup'

Then I did a manual purge of phpBB3/cache (everything except index.htm)

Obviously you can modify the above for any other extensions causing grief after the upgrade

Unless you know what you are doing running a query like that may well create more problems than it solves.

The only cron setting I found was under ACP -> GENERAL -> SERVER CONFIGURATION -> Server settings. In this screen, the Run periodic tasks from system cron: parameter is set to No.

That has nothing to do with this extension and relates to using system cron - this extension uses phpBB cron.

The most likely reason that the backup is not running is the way that phpBB cron works. It will run the next time that the board is accessed after the time interval, but only if it is the next cron job to be ru. There are several core cron maintenance jobs that are being run all the time and it all depends where the backup is within that list of jobs. On a busy board it is not normally noticeable but if the board is quiet then it can take quite a while to run. On my local test board I sometimes have to keep accessing the board continuously for two or three minutes before I can force it to run.

That sounds as if there is something wrong with your setup - cookies, .htaccess, caching as I have never seen, or heard, of it happening before.

I have never tried running it via cli but if all you are doing is invoking the cron task to run at a specified time then I suspect that you will still have the problem of other cron jobs being in the queue ahead of this one

Perhaps the easiest way to handle this is to have a flag to not change the minute portion of the run time.

That is already programmed in the next version
